Last night, SarahK was watching the results show to Dancing with the Stars while I was painting the guest bathroom. During a commercial break, there was an ad for Good Morning America in which there would be an interview with Jim McGreevy’s wife with the teaser “Could your husband be gay?”
Oh, that’s trouble.
Think if women learn to wield that as a weapon:
WIFE: “Honey, want to go with me to the fabric store to help me pick out curtains?”
HUSBAND: “Why don’t you just shoot me in the face instead?”
WIFE: “According to a segment on Good Morning America, men who don’t want to go pick out curtains with their wives are really just afraid of exposing their homosexuality.”
HUSBAND: “What? Well, I just didn’t want to go because I… uh… hurt my knee doing manly things. But it’s better now! I’m going to go help you find curtains and then sex you up — heterosexual style!
How much do you want to bet Elizabeth Edwards is going to tune into that Good Morning America special? Anyway, might as well get the ball rolling…
INDICATIONS YOUR HUSBAND MAY BE GAY
* He watched Dancing with the Stars under his own volition.
* He cares whether you have curtains.
* You’re a man and you married in Vermont.
* He’s openly a Democrat (Mrs. McGreevy should have picked up on that one).
* He regularly has sex with men.
You know the drill; keep it going in the comments.

Rage Against the Machine is raging against President Bush.
What took them so long?
Long time readers of IMAO will remember the Limey who quoted Rage Against the Machine lyrics in each of his crazed e-mail until I had to put him down. Rage Against the Machine has been impotently raging against “The System” for forever, so you’d think they would lead on Bush-bashing. Why did it take until now for them to make news on this? Were these anarchists and crazed leftists really on the fence about President Bush until just now?
I’m disappointed; that’s all I’m saying.
BTW, I knew a factory worker who raged against a machine; he lost three fingers.

Bill Whittle is back to blogging, having posted twice in less than a week. He promises to post more and has even reopened comments. Also, he has a new version of his book and a Latin motto to vote on. If you’ve never read Eject! Eject! Eject!, you are stupid and should go there and be not stupid.
The big news is he has apparently trekked far into the Himalayas and found reclusive former blogger Rachel Lucas and convinced her to return to society. Some of you may be too young to remember her, but she was one of the first bloggers I read and also made the original IMAO logo for me. After this long away, her rant could be deadly.

Naomi Wolf penned an excrutiatingly long, factually-challenged, spun-like-a-centrifuge screed about Bush turning America into a fascist dictatorship that invokes Godwin’s law so fast and frequently that it makes a frog in a blender look like a Doc Edgerton photo.
As a mercy to IMAO readers, I’ll give you the short version of her “10 Steps To Fascism” delusion:

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy – “terrorists – like the ones behind 9/11”
2. Create a gulag – “put terrorists in Guantanamo”
3. Develop a thug caste – “hire private security guards”
4. Set up an internal surveillance system – “monitor international communications of vocal terrorist sympathizers”
5. Harass citizens’ groups – “have cops join anti-war groups with a history of violence”
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release – “…of vocal terrorist sympathizers”
7. Target key individuals – “fire eight attorneys”
8. Control the press – “tell people that known spy Valerie Plame was a spy”
9. Dissent equals treason – “call a leak of classified information ‘disgraceful'”
10. Suspend the rule of law – “create an emergency plan for dealing with a devastating terrorist attack”.

Whatever.
Still, maybe she has a point. Perhaps there IS a political movement in this country that fits all ten of the warning signs. Maybe the ACTUAL fascist threat to this country is Political Correctness:

1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy – “being offended”
2. Create a gulag – “sensitivity training classes”
3. Develop a thug caste – “activists”
4. Set up an internal surveillance system – “any blog with the word ‘watch’ in the title”
5. Harass citizens’ groups – “animal rights groups that accompany hunters with noisemakers”
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release – “suspending students for ham-related hate crimes“
7. Target key individuals – “Imus”
8. Control the press – “ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, blah, blah, everyone but Fox, Rush Limbaugh, and maybe Michelle Malkin”
9. Dissent equals treason – “Global warming deniers”
10. Suspend the rule of law – “More gun control”

There ya go – short, sweet, absolute proof. Not only that, but I didn’t have to mention Nazis or Hitler even ONCE to do it.
In your face, Wolfie, ya blithering hack.
